Tofu or soybean curd is a soft, cheese-like product, which is produced by grinding soybeans to form a
milk-like substance. Ideal for a vegan, tofu is rich in proteins, minerals and calcium, besides being a great substitute for meat.

It is rich in minerals like iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and selenium.

The health benefits of tofu are numerous. It helps prevent certain chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and also prevents cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. In addition, tofu helps in weight loss and prevents early ageing. Consuming tofu regularly helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and reduces symptoms associated with menopause.
